Coyote's a survivor, I reckon he's got to be.
D G
He lives in the snow at 40 below or Malibu by the sea.
D G
An' I'm just an old cow puncher, I love to listen to his tune.
D G
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote gets drunk on the moon.

Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote gets drunk on the moon.

D G
Well the cowboy is a conundrum, a contradiction in this age,
D G
Well he says he's doin' fine on the poverty line with a workin' cowboy's wage.

So with thoughts of re-incarnation well I drifted off to dream.
D G
I made it for life with a coyote wife and a bushy-tailed coyote queen.
D G
Way down in the valley, at the old long noose saloon,
D G
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye, we got drunk on the moon.
